IN      THE      DEPTHS      OF     MAY. 
                                          
                                
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                
                                          
 IMAGINE  IF YOU  WILL, A LUSH  BLUEBERRY 
 SPRUCE  FOREST, WITH  ROLLING HILLS  AND 
          KNEE-DEEP UNDERBRUSH.           
                                          
 THE GROUND  IS  SOFT. LEAVES  IN ALL  OF 
 THE SEVEN  STAGES  OF  DECOMPOSITION ARE 
   PACKED LOOSELY TOGETHER... SOMETIMES   
 THERE ARE ROCKS.  BIGGER  BOULDERS  PEEK 
             OUT OF THE HILLS.            
                                          
 THERE COULD  BE, SOMEWHERE IN THE DEPTHS 
 OF IT ALL,  A CREVICE FILLED WITH WATER. 
   BIRD CHERRIES AT THE EDGES, DIPPING    
 THEIR  LONG FINGERS BENEATH THE SURFACE. 
    WATER LILIES, MAYBE. THE WATER IS     
   YELLOW-GREEN WITH POLLEN, AND INSECTS  
      ARE SWARMING ABOVE THE SURFACE.     
                                          
        WATER STRIDERS, MOSQUITOS,        
         BACK FLIES, CRANE FLIES.         
                                          
                                
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                   
                                
                                          
 IN  THIS   CASE  WE  WOULD   USE   DEET, 
 OR DIETHYLTOLUAMIDE AS IT'S ALSO CALLED. 
                                          
 DEET  SHOULD  BE APPLIED TO  YOUR  SKIN. 
 YOU  SHOULD COVER ALL SKIN THAT IS TO BE 
 EXPOSED TO AIR.  IT'S OK  TO GET SOME IN 
 THE  EYES.  RUB  UNTIL  IT  FEELS RIGHT, 
 UNTIL  THE  SKIN FEELS GOOD. LET IT SOAK 
                   IN.                    
                                          
       YOU'VE NOW BECOME POISONOUS.
